Shoes

When I first arrived in Turkey I was obsessed with sneakers. I had spent the past three weeks looking for a pair of kicks and I was still caught up in the search. (Ed was obsessed with cell phones for similar reasons). Every store I passed I had to pause to look at the shoes on display.

In the end I loved my Sauconys. They were cool and comfortable, even while hiking the Kackar mountains. Everyone else was wearing hiking boots. One woman looked at my kicks and said, "You're going trekking in those?"

Last weekend I was talking about shoes with David. Years ago he had done Outward Bound, for which he had bought $300.00 boots. His feet were sore the entire time. Looking at my dusty Shadows, he told me he wished he had worn sneakers. I'm thinking of buying another pair. Posted by eku at October 6, 2004 10:34 AM
